Well if you work here, the answer is 108 per admin. Might I add we all feel like jumping off a bridge. ============================================================= And if you are a "good" admin, 200+ A great admin, unlimited. The trick is to understand your systems, run as many automated processes possible, be very proactive in the "health check" of your systems, and MONITOR MONITOR MONITOR. Many problems are avoidable if monitoring processes were in place - especially monitoring the health of drives and/or the SMART of drives. The common phrase I hear as being a Windows admin is "Windows rot" - this is a bunch of baloney. Admins call it that when they dont know, nor do they care what the problem is which is causing the issue. So the common answer to this is - reload..... And reloading is not an issue if you have an automated backup/reloader. After being a Unix/Windows admin since Windows 3.1, I have almost seen everthing possible with operating systems and hardware. One important thing I have learned is, when a new system is in the process of being brought online, perform a backup, then a complete restore - record issues and learn from the problems - sooner or later, you will do the hard stuff without even thinking about it which will make the day go faster and smoother.
The number of servers depends on a number of factors for the administrator:Are the machines the same type, OS, etc?How familiar is the administrator with the OSHas the administrator automated a number of mundane tasks?What is on those servers?In other words there is no standard formula to tell what the maximum might be. It is too highly dependent on the individual and the tasks required to perform.

Windows servers are not necessarily failure-prone moreso than say Linux or Mac servers. However, Windows servers do suffer more frequently from hacking and virus attacks.
Private servers are... well... private. It depends on what the administrator of the server allows.
In Windows, look at properties of Local Area Connection in Control Panel, then look at properties of TCP/IP. If you can't get there, go to a Command Prompt and type ipconfig /all and the DNS servers will be listed under Local Area Connection.If you are trying to set your DNS servers, use DHCP, or ask your network administrator for this information.

Windows, Macintosh and most servers offer virtualization technologies. Microsoft has the VirtualPC software. The Mac can run most OSes (Windows, Linux) via Bootcamp or through VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
Windows is better for desktop computers. Linux is better for servers.
